I worked 9am to 1145, signed out, had second breakfast (my family are obviously descended from hobbits), signed back in at 1230, and worked until 2030. I was scheduled to work until 2100, but at that point I was done with the things I had to do and figured I would sign out and let someone else sort it out. I had only stopped in to drop off my stuff so I wouldn't have to carry it around, and then I was going to have a walk and breakfast somewhere away from work. As it is I ended up having egg, cheese and bacon on french fries, because they had stopped serving regular breakfast at the airport restaurant. Well, it was pretty good, but not what I wanted, exactly.

Tomorrow I'm expected to work 7am to 1730, I believe.

One of the people I was teaching today caught her thumb in a wood splitter the other day, crunched the bone after the last knuckle and split it down both sides. She didn't even cry, she says. Maine woman. Of course, she was having her five year old grandson operate the thing, because normally that shouldn't even be possible.

Oh, another 'you know you're in Maine when' moment, from yesterday - the instructor who came up from Boston to help us out was really bothered by the fact that the projector has this double image thing going on, where the colors don't line up. It's been that way for ages, and I asked the class if we should get another one. They all shrugged, mostly indifferent, and one said, "It's adequate." Boston people expect things to run right, we're used to having the dregs.
